Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova, née Dimitrova, was born into the family of a poor Bulgarian peasant. Vanga became a legend during her lifetime. In her hometown Petrice is still not spoken of in the past tense. People believe that Vanga still works miracles today.

Until the age of 12, Vanga lived the most ordinary life of an ordinary child, but an amazing future seemed to be already on the threshold, waiting for the right moment to meet. Vanga's relatives recalled that she loved to invent games for herself as a child. One of the strangest was this: in the yard, in a secluded place, she hid a simple toy; she returned to the house, closed her eyes tightly and, feeling as if blind, went to look for her. Parents were apprehensive about blind games, but despite all the prohibitions, this type of entertainment was one of the girl’s favorites.

The mother died when the girl was three years old. The father remarried. In 1923, Vanga, her father and stepmother, moved to the village of Novo Selo in Macedonia, where her father was from. There, at the age of 12, Vanga, while returning home with her cousins, lost her sight due to a hurricane. The whirlwind threw the girl hundreds of meters away. She was found only in the evening, covered with branches and with her eyes filled with sand. Her family was unable to provide treatment, and Vanga eventually went blind. In 1925, she was sent to the Home for the Blind in Zemun, Serbia, where she spent three years learning to cook, knit, and read Braille. After the death of her stepmother due to difficult life circumstances, she returned to her father's house in Strumica.

In May 1942, Vanga married Dimitar Gushterov from the village of Kryndzhilitsa, Petricheskaya region. Shortly before the wedding, she moved with her groom to Petrich, where she subsequently became widely known. Dimitar suffered from alcoholism and died in 1962.
According to followers, Vanga had the ability to determine people's diseases with great accuracy and predict them future fate. She often referred her to healers or doctors who could help these people, and often she did not know these healers and spoke about them like this: such and such a person lives in such and such a city.
In 1967, Vanga was registered as a civil servant and received an official salary of 200 leva per month, and a visit to her cost 10 leva for citizens of socialist states, and 50 dollars for citizens of “Western” states. Until this moment, Vanga received people for free, accepting only various gifts. Many Russian celebrities visited her.
On the Domashny TV channel, three projects are dedicated to Vanga’s life: a documentary series

Vanga (Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova), née Dimitrova. Born January 31, 1911 in Strumitsa (Ottoman Empire) - died August 11, 1996 in Sofia (Bulgaria). Bulgarian clairvoyant and soothsayer, healer.

Vangelia Dimitrova, better known as Vanga, was born on January 31, 1911 in the city of Strumica (formerly Strumnitsa), which is now located in Macedonia near the border with Bulgaria and Greece, and at that time belonged to the Ottoman Empire.

Her parents were peasants.

Father - Pande Surchev.

Mother - Paraskeva Surcheva.

The name was given in accordance with the Bulgarian folk custom when they go out into the street and ask the first person they meet. At first she was offered the name Andromache, but it was rejected by her relatives. And the second person he met called the name Vangelia - translated from Greek (Greek Ευαγγελία) means “good news.”

From an early age she was accustomed to work and was distinguished by her hard work until the end of her days.

Surprisingly, from an early age the girl was fascinated by a strange game: looking for hidden objects while blindfolded. She also liked to do various activities while blindfolded, including playing with dolls. She herself later said that it was a kind of sign from above.

With the outbreak of World War I, Vanga Pande's father was mobilized into the Bulgarian army. His mother died when Vanga was three years old. The girl grew up in a neighbor's house. Returning after the war, the widowed father remarried.

In 1923, Vanga's father lost land plot and due to financial difficulties, the family moved to the village of Novo Selo in Macedonia, where her father was from. There, at the age of 12, Vanga, when returning home with her cousins, lost her sight due to a hurricane, during which the whirlwind threw her hundreds of meters. She was found only in the evening, covered with branches and with her eyes filled with sand.

There was no money for treatment, and as a result Vanga went blind.

In 1925, she was sent to the Home for the Blind in Zemun, Serbia, where she spent three years learning to cook, play the piano, knit and read Braille. Due to difficult life circumstances in the family - her stepmother died during her fourth birth - she returned to her father's house in Strumitsa to help take care of her younger brothers Vasil and Tom, as well as her sister Lyubka.

Vanga first attracted public attention during the Second World War, when a rumor spread in the neighborhoods closest to her village that she was endowed with supernatural abilities and clairvoyance and could determine the location of people missing in the war, whether they were alive, or the places of their death and burial. This was facilitated by the fact that on the eve of 1939, Vanga caught a severe cold when she stood barefoot on the cement floor for several days waiting for benefits for the poor to be issued and, being in an exhausted state, was unexpectedly able to recover from a severe form of pleurisy.

According to Vanga herself, she owes her abilities to certain invisible creatures, the origin of which she was not able to explain. Vanga's niece, Krasimira Stoyanova, said that Vanga spoke with the souls of the dead or, in cases where the dead could not give an answer, with a certain inhuman voice. After each such session, Vanga said that “I feel bad, and then I’m broken all day long” and “I lose a lot of energy, I feel bad, I’m depressed for a long time.”

In 1941, Vanga was visited for the second time by a certain “mysterious horseman”, after which she began to exhibit supernatural abilities. Vanga’s first predictions concerned male front-line soldiers - the girl told her family about their whereabouts and foresaw whether they would return home alive or not.

One of Vanga’s first titled visitors was the Tsar of Bulgaria Boris III, who visited her on April 8, 1942.

Vanga had the ability to determine people's diseases with great accuracy and predict their future fate. She often referred her to healers or doctors who could help these people, and often she did not know these healers and spoke about them like this: such and such a person lives in such and such a city.

Vanga received her support from the Minister of Culture of the People's Republic of Bulgaria and a member of the Politburo Central Committee Bulgarian Communist Party Lyudmila Zhivkova - daughter Secretary General Central Committee of the BCP, Chairman of the State Council of the People's Republic of Bulgaria Todor Zhivkov.

The seer made her predictions on a piece of refined sugar, on which every visitor had to sleep the night before visiting Vanga. Statisticians have calculated that during the clairvoyant’s career, people brought her more than 2 tons of refined sugar, which indicates that she helped more than a million people.

In 1967, she was registered as a civil servant. From that moment on, she began to receive an official salary - 200 leva per month, and a visit to her cost 10 leva for citizens of socialist states, and 50 dollars for citizens of “Western” states. Until this moment, Vanga received people for free, accepting only various gifts.

For the last 20 years of her life, the woman received visitors in the Bulgarian village of Rupite.

In 1994, at the expense of Vanga, according to the design of the Bulgarian architect Svetlin Rusev, the chapel of St. Paraskeva was built in the village of Rupite. Due to the non-canonical nature of both the architecture of the building and the wall images, the chapel was not consecrated by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, so the building is simply referred to as “temple”, without specifying its affiliation.

Shortly before her death, Vanga reported that the Earth was being visited by alien ships from a planet sounding like “Vamfim,” “the third in a row from planet Earth,” and another civilization was preparing a big event, and a meeting with this civilization would take place in 200 years.

Vanga had a good attitude towards theosophy and the teachings of “Living Ethics” of N.K. and E.I. Roerichs. Candidate of Philosophical Sciences, Hieromonk Job (Gumerov) cites the testimony of Vanga’s niece, Krasimira Stoyanova, who wrote that at a meeting with the writer L. M. Leonov: “Vanga was then inspired, and she spoke about events that were fateful for his country. She made contact with a long-dead clairvoyant of Russian origin, Helena Blavatsky. We really heard some amazing things." Gumerov also cites Stoyanova’s testimony about the visit of Vanga by the Roerichs’ son, Svyatoslav: “When Svyatoslav Roerich visited Vanga, she told him: “Your father was not just an artist, but also an inspired prophet. All his paintings are insights, predictions. They are encrypted, but attentive and a sensitive heart will tell the viewer the code."

Vanga considered the Saint to be a prophet and described his image as in a painting by N.K. Roerich.

Vanga's personal life:

In the House of the Blind in Zemun, she met a blind young man from a wealthy family and was going to marry him. However, their wedding was upset by her father, who, after the death of her stepmother, forced Vanga to return home to help raise her younger brothers and sister.

In May 1942, Vanga met Dimitar Gushterov, who was serving in the army, from the village of Kryndzhilitsa, Petricheskaya region. Vanga predicted to Dimitar Gushterov, who came to her house to find out the names of his brother’s killers, that he was her betrothed. Despite the fact that then he was going to marry the first beauty from his village. But after Vanga’s words, he decided to radically change his life, abandoned his fiancee and married a blind prophetess. Together they moved to Petrich.

Life with the “saint,” as Dimitar called his wife, turned out to be simply an unbearable burden for him. And he became a heavy drinker and died in 1962 from cirrhosis of the liver. Vanga was inconsolable and after her husband’s death she never stopped mourning.

She didn’t have her own children. She adopted a boy, Dimitra Volchev, and a girl, Violetta, whom she raised and gave a good education.

Vanga died on August 11, 1996 in Sofia at the Lozinets clinic from cancer of the right breast, refusing treatment and surgery. According to rumors, the clairvoyant accurately predicted her death a month before the incident.

Before her death, she uttered a strange phrase: “The time of miracles and the time of great discoveries in the field of the intangible will come. There will also be great archaeological discoveries that will radically change our understanding of the world since ancient times. It is so predetermined.”.

Despite the fact that the woman lived quite modestly, in last years During his lifetime, Vanga’s fortune amounted to millions of dollars. After the death of the prophetess, among the property that, according to Vanga’s will, completely went to the state, there was neither money nor jewelry, which grateful people gave her.

In 2011, on the occasion of the centenary of Vanga’s birth, a statue of her weighing 400 kilograms was installed in Rupite.

In 2014, Bulgaria solemnly celebrated the 20th anniversary of the opening of the temple (the chapel of St. Paraskeva, built at Vanga’s expense).

Vanga ( documentary)

Vanga - quotes, sayings, thoughts

♦ Ah! - Thomas is unfaithful. Oh, what a great spirit this is! - I am He. We are He. We are He who is coming into the world again, as He promised. All the apostles are now on the move, they have all descended to Earth, for the time of the Holy Spirit has already come. But the highest mission fell to the Apostle Andrew. He is the preparer of the ways of Christ in the commanded land.

♦ When God comes, a difficult time will come for the unbelievers. Water suitable for drinking will remain only in the mountains. Christ will give people water from a full jug, but the outside is dry. The Antichrist will wet the outside of the jug, but inside it will be empty!

♦ In 2024, an era of peace and prosperity will be established in Russia for a thousand years.

♦ Fighting for peace does not have to be with arms in hand. If you breathe good thoughts into people, you will take a serious step towards achieving peace. Many leaders of various countries have focused their efforts in this direction. There is no other way out. We need to treat each other with kindness and love in order to be saved. Everyone will be saved. Together.

♦ The body dies, but the soul remains, and you watch lest Herod come. If he comes... He destroyed fourteen thousand souls! What if suddenly there is a war? What will we do if they come and start exterminating the people? We must pray. But people don't listen. They destroy each other, kill, whatever they do to destroy each other.

♦ If we don't let's understand simple truth with our minds, we will be forced to understand it by the inexorable laws of the cosmos. But then it will be too late, and insight will cost us too much. People come up with new laws - they sew clothes of a new style. But it will still pass a lot of time before we create a strong fabric.

♦ The Anointed One in white robes will come to Earth again. The hour is near when those chosen by their hearts will feel that Christ has returned. First He will appear to Russia, and then to the whole world.

♦ Humanity will witness God’s signs in the sky, large parts of the land will be swallowed up by water, only those places where they stand God's temples, God will save you.

♦ Humanity is on the path to madness, and it is this that will finish it off. And this thirst for power, this violence - how can it be that yesterday’s criminals rule people today? Deception, perversity, godlessness, the fact that people cling to evil and resist good - all this will come back to haunt us.

♦ Explore me, experiment, study with the help of instruments and equipment. Would you like to explain what I'm doing? How can you explain this when it is God’s work?

♦ My gift from God. He deprived me of my sight, but gave me other eyes with which I see the world - both visible and invisible.

♦ If you give in this world, you will have in Heaven. If you have two apples, a big one and a small one, give one of them. You will get the same thing in the next world. If you have given nothing in this life, you will receive nothing there.

♦ Strengthen your faith in God, love each other and be kinder, because without this you can’t do anything you will succeed. Although with difficulty, the bad in Bulgaria gives way to the good. Do not hurry. Heaven knows best in what order events should follow. There are different laws.

♦ Parallel to the human mind, there is another, more perfect, higher mind. This mind begins and ends in the universe, He is eternal and infinite, everything is subject to Him.

♦ And no matter how much you start these conversations about people, about the earth and disasters, the end will still be the same, and all because if there are laws, they are ordered to be observed. This is how everything works in nature, and in human life, however, how many are there who understand this?

♦ Knowing and understanding prophetic dreams and prophetic dreams, you can change and improve a lot in your future destiny. And only the dates of birth and death cannot be changed, because every person lives in this world exactly as long as is predetermined from above for him to fulfill his mission of being on Earth.

♦ In a prophetic dream, you receive a warning and can still avoid trouble... dreams sent from above provide an opportunity to understand yourself and your surroundings in advance... Understand - and act.

♦ The Spirit of God feels like a thickening of the field, a very heavy space. It envelops a person, flows into him from all sides, creates pressure on his brain. The pressure is not uniform, but targeted, affecting selected points and areas of the brain. This pressure can be incredibly strong.

♦ Stars are just like people. Some are about to lose, waste all their energy reserves. For others, they still have to live and live, radiating light and warmth. And the planets are like those curculi-grabs of the human race, which is all they do: they pull energy from others. So why be surprised that stars, planets, peoples and people have such different destinies?

♦ Every nation and person has its own star, which saturates it with luminous energy. However, there are exceptions. Some peoples do not have a star, but have a planet. So: the new teaching (“white-white, like snow”) will create new conditions (everything will become white-white, like milk), under which these peoples will not be able to survive, at least spiritually. In an atmosphere that is unusual for them, they will seem to suffocate. A people, a person who has a planet instead of a star or - what is the same thing - an extinguished star, will go out himself, like a candle in too strong a wind.

♦ We need to re-read the New Testament more often. Do you know where the name itself—the New Testament—comes from and what it signifies? A covenant means an agreement, an agreement. Condition to be saved. This means a union, a union of God with man. And live according to the New Testament - live according to the New Union with God, according to the canons of the teachings of Christ.

♦ How many books have been written, but no one will give a final answer if they do not understand and admit that there is a spiritual world (Heaven) and a physical world (Earth) and a supreme Power - call It what you want, which created us. To understand the Bible, a person must rise spiritually. Only then will he be able to perceive and understand the highest knowledge. God will reward him and give him strength and help him so that he can understand how everything happened.

♦ From Christmas the day begins to grow. And the sun gets hotter. Remember, Christ is the Savior for Christians. He is our God true God. What a wonderful holiday this is! What songs are sung all over the earth to make the human soul happy? The Bulgarians have so many good customs. A decorated Christmas tree, doesn't it remind you Easter Egg? Read the Bible more often, chapter thirteen of the Gospel of John.

♦ Believe, faith is everything, and not wealth, money and pleasure! Oh, if people could see that there, in the next world, they would not dream of wealth, there would be no thieves, no murderers, no traitors.

♦ The main causes of many cataclysms are in nature itself, and in many ways scientists are to blame with their endless experiments. Many people began to think about the land and say fashionable words. They organize various symposiums, conferences, congresses, but the people and nature suffer.

♦ In these books they compete to see who can copy more from whom. Well, not all, there are a lot smart people, but there are few of them. A genius is not a genius... but since it is determined from above, since a person believes and works, sooner or later he will find the right answer. There is an answer to every question, but, of course, you need to know how to ask the question and what answer you need. And if you don’t make up your mind throughout your entire life, then you will continue to ask your question, and there will never be an answer to it.

♦ There are “ big time", simply "time" and "times".

♦ All natural disasters and social upheavals were predetermined by the influence of stars, planets and comets.

♦ Rarely does a person live in affinity with his planets and stars. People are blind. And even when I warn them about the fateful day, they are careless and frivolous. Thousands die under the millstones of fate. Like a hare flying in the headlights under the wheels of a car. But you just had to wait a little.

♦ Man was created by God, and did not come from a monkey, as they say in books. This is nonsense. An animal cannot turn into a person, and a person cannot turn into an animal.

♦ Paracelsus became a great healer because he healed the body, soul, and spirit of the sick.

♦ Nine-tenths of our health rests on the ability to think correctly. A person's thoughts are his health. A healthy body has a good mind. Where there is harmony, there is health. Those who envy complain about their health. He who envyes, thinking that no one knows about it, will not receive mercy from God. Health is close, since you have not fallen low. If you are kind, health will come. Not only honey and joy heal, but also thoughts. Health is free thinking. He who controls himself does not suffer from illness. A healthy person has a healthy mind. To be healthy is to forget grievances. Health is not in the hands, but in the head of a person. The first wealth is health, the second wealth is thoughts, the third wealth is honey, but just as without a stotinka there will be no lev, so without thoughts and honey there will be no health.

♦ To get rid of illnesses and illnesses, you need to become a very kind and sensitive person. The earth expects gratitude from us for coming and living on it. We pay our debts to the Earth like rent. Every person pays.

♦ Neither herbs nor harmony with nature give the desired effect if a person does not strive to maintain his mental health at its best.

♦ Do not complain about the suffering that comes your way. Suffering is a cleanser, like, say, a jacket that will be dirty if it is not cleaned.

♦ All illnesses come from vanity of vanities. Peer into the starry sky more often, and the harmony of the cosmos will help create harmony in the soul.

♦ Water that washes away diseases and misfortunes must be running. You must draw it from a river or spring in silence. To pour water three times means to enlist the support and help of the Trinity, consubstantial and indivisible - God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit. Pouring water seven times means washing away the sins from which all illnesses and misfortunes arise. They pour it nine times to cultivate in a person the nine beatitudes of the Gospel. The energy of the planets also nourishes the human body. Water serves as a good conductor. It is charged both by the energy of space and the bowels of the Earth. Has special power cold water, collected from rivers, springs and wells at Christmas, New Year, Epiphany and Candlemas, as well as water taken from natural sources on Maundy Thursday or Friday, Ivan Kupala. Great is the power of water consecrated on the eve of Easter and on the first day of August, which is popularly known as Wet Savior. It is good to go for water early in the morning. Preferably before sunrise. This type of water is called “untapped” and “undrinkable.”

♦ Different people visit me every day. I help them, but they leave me with their illnesses, their, sometimes, unclean thoughts. This burden is heavy for me, so I begin to put things in order, and this brings me relief.

♦ Morning dew is a summer miracle. In the morning, plants release many healing substances, which is why it is so useful to wipe yourself with dew not only for the sick, but also for the healthy, for prevention.

♦ Water is myrrh, after each bath you feel as if you were born again, both your body and heart are cleansed, wash yourself more often, do not run away from water, it is health.

♦ Only honey has been given from above the great sacrament of expanding the tiny boundaries of human life in this world, because every drop of bee honey carries blessed clots of life-giving and healing energy of the sky, the sun, and the entire universe.

♦ And Aristotle about this miraculous property was in charge of honey. And, like Pythagoras, he believed that only the kindest and most best souls. And the souls of those people who, during their lifetime, fully tasted nectar and ambrosia - a honey-bearing Greek drink.

♦ Hippocrates often used various honey mixtures to heal the sick. Everyone has heard about the “Hippocratic Oath,” but a whole lot of its healing recipes have been forgotten.

♦ If we had to smoke, the Lord would put a pipe on our heads.

♦ You should not overeat before. Products are now so spoiled by all sorts of chemicals that they can be poisoned. In addition, eating a lot of food is taxing on all human organs. The Almighty would give us two stomachs if he could imagine that we would eat so much. If you asked me what to sow in the fields, I would say: as much rye as possible. People should eat more rye bread to stay healthy. Today, more than ever, the importance of rye in the diet is great. You should drink herbal tea more often. Reduce fat content in food. Those who are healthy should gradually reduce their share meat dishes, or better yet, give up meat altogether. At least once a week you should eat boiled rye and drink clean water. This is what will give a person the strength to cope with various diseases. Do not smoke. Tobacco is a slow, voluptuous killer. He acts with certainty and kills in cold blood. Go to bed early - at 22 o'clock, and get up early - at 5-6 o'clock. It is during these hours that both the body and brain rest best, the nerves calm down, and muscle tension eases. Make cleanliness a cult. No need to wash too much hot water, it is best to use homemade soap.

♦ The secret of the future of earthly civilization is kept by the Egyptian pyramids. It is there that the key to absolute knowledge is left.

♦ Supermind begins and ends in the universe, He is eternal and infinite, everything is subject to Him.

♦ The dead often help and protect relatives from trouble. Good sinless spirits have the right to visit Earth more often.

♦ Why are you afraid of death? She's so beautiful. I see her as a smiling young woman with flowing blond hair.

♦ Souls living in the other world are thirty years old, they are at the age of Christ. They have sight, hearing, taste. Some of them help the living. And the best return to Earth again.

♦ Many people ask: “Tell me, who was I in a past life?” I answer: “Who said that you had past life? Others ask: “Who will I be in next life? I tell them: “How do you know that you will have a different life? Think better about the real thing, about how to become better.”

♦ Reincarnation exists, but it does not affect all souls. Only the kindest and best return to Earth.

♦ Souls are reborn, and I myself am on Earth for the fourth time.

♦ Don't think that you are free to do whatever you want, no one is free.

Many domestic celebrities turned to Vanga for help.

Bedros Kirkorov said that she cured his leg and predicted glory for his son: “I visited Vanga in my distant youth, when Philip was four years old. I came with my ailments - my leg ached for several years. While still in the army, I fell unsuccessfully from a horse and injured my leg. It was not broken, not sprained, but it hurt all the time. The doctors already wanted to operate on me. Vanga reassured me: “Don’t worry, your health will improve soon. You have good energy, only she needs to be released.” And she taught me to massage my leg clockwise. After her advice, my health improved: my leg no longer bothered me. I did not specifically ask her to share predictions regarding my family. She herself was the first to talk about it: “You have a son, and great fame awaits him. I see him at a height - a mountain, and in his hands he has a metal stick.” I thought that Philip would become a conductor, but it turned out that the mountain symbolized the musical Olympus, and the stick symbolized the microphone."

Zoya Boguslavskaya, a widow, described her meeting with Vanga in her book “Prediction”: “As her revelations progressed, it became increasingly unbearable for me that a creature endowed with such an exceptional and dangerous gift lived in bleak conditions of poverty, devoid of light and impressions. And After all, she promised me something amazing: “You will be a very successful person... one day you will cross the ocean...” (in 1968, at the invitation of the Canadian Ambassador, Boguslavskaya crossed the ocean, where she met with students from local universities)...We said goodbye to Vanga in the semi-darkness of the hallway. Suddenly the blind woman held my hand. “You have stoves there, in Moscow, they say, that work without wood, on electricity?” she said quite casually. “I get terribly cold in winter, send me one...” ". Boguslavskaya bought a powerful heater in Moscow in the electrical appliances department of GUM and gave it to Vanga with her Bulgarian friends.

The actress recalled: “She said: “Don’t walk in heels, and everything will be fine.” - I went to Vanga with one philosopher, Lyuben (he was then writing reports to Zhivkov). As I was told the day before, at night I put a piece of sugar under the pillow. In the morning we went to the town of Petrich, on the border with Greece, where summer house Vanga lived. From time to time Vanga took something out of her pocket and sniffed. I thought that sugar was not important to her, but what she was snorting now was doping, which connected her with the mystical world. Later, the secretary told me that it was an ordinary toilet soap, Vanga had just been given it as a gift, she simply liked its aroma... I felt extremely uncomfortable. I thought: why do I need all this, what, in fact, Vanga can tell me that I don’t know about myself? But it was too late. Then she stood up, hugged me, said some things that seemed to mean nothing in life, ran her hand along my back and told me not to walk in heels, and everything would be fine. I returned to Moscow completely different, no one recognized me. She returned a calmer person."

The poet said: “She was a wise peasant woman with a good aura. Vanga tried to help me. I came to her when my son was sick... She advised me to quit smoking. And I quit... I came to her when there was a difficult situation with my sick child. Vanga gave me some advice. She listened attentively, received hospitably, was very friendly. Alas, not every advice can help. Vanga did not give the impression of a charlatan. She was worldly wise. A good, wise peasant woman, with unique abilities. And in Russian "In the villages there are grandmothers who have unique abilities and strength, they charm diseases. Vanga had a good aura, she was a kind woman who tried to help people."

Vanga's prophecies

At the beginning of 1993, Vanga seemed to say that the USSR would be revived in the first quarter of the 21st century and Bulgaria would be part of it. And in Russia many new people will be born who will be able to change the world.

In 1994, Vanga predicted: “At the beginning of the 21st century, humanity will get rid of cancer. The day will come when cancer will be shackled in “iron chains.” She explained these words in such a way that “an anti-cancer drug must contain a lot of iron.”

Vanga declared that they would invent a cure for old age. It will be made from the hormones of a horse, a dog and a turtle: “A horse is strong, a dog is hardy, and a turtle lives a long time.”

Vanga's prophecies come true:

It is immediately worth noting that Vanga’s prophecies, which came true, have not been documented. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that they were simply attributed to her retroactively.

It is believed that Vanga predicted the death, and then the death of the Indian leader Indira Gandhi.

Predicted an accident on Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the collapse of the USSR.

She predicted victory in the 1996 presidential elections.

Vanga is credited with predicting the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States; she allegedly prophesied that “the American brothers will be pecked by iron birds.”

Vanga predicted Topalov's victory at the World Chess Championship.

It is believed that she predicted the death of the Kursk submarine. However, people who knew Vanga personally say that she did not make predictions about the death of the Kursk submarine.

Vanga's unfulfilled prophecies:

There are many known cases when the prophecies attributed to Vanga did not come true. Thus, she predicted that “two teams starting with the letter B” would compete in the final of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but of all the countries whose names begin with the letter “B”, only Brazil reached the final.

Vanga allegedly predicted that World War III would begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014.

Vanga allegedly said: “2010. The beginning of the World War. The war will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. It will start as usual, then first nuclear and then chemical weapons will be used.

2011. As a result of radioactive fallout, there will be no animals or vegetation left in the Northern Hemisphere. Then the Muslims will begin chemical warfare against the surviving Europeans.

year 2014. Most people will suffer from ulcers, skin cancer and other skin diseases (a consequence of chemical warfare).

2016 Europe is almost deserted."

However, according to the testimony of Vanga’s close friends, she never predicted the outbreak of the Third World War and the subsequent end of the world.

There are clearly recorded prophecies of Vanga, which turned out to be erroneous or did not come true. For example, in the late 1980s, several children disappeared in Volgograd, two correspondents went to Vanga, who told them that the children were alive and would soon be found, but they were never found. There is a well-known story from 1991, when Soviet journalists Viktor Nogin and Gennady Kurinnoy disappeared during the war in Croatia - Vanga stated that both were alive, although it later turned out that they were shot on charges of espionage.

Often, journalists, in search of sensations, spread myths about Vanga and her predictions.

A well-known myth is about the “alarm clock for Gagarin.” When the actor allegedly came to Vanga, she told him, “Why didn’t you fulfill the wishes of your best friend? Before his last flight, he came to your house and said: “I don’t have time, so buy an alarm clock and keep it on your desk. Let this alarm clock remind you of me.” After this, Tikhonov allegedly became ill. Subsequently, Tikhonov allegedly said that after the death of Gagarin, he, having a hard time experiencing the death of his friend, forgot to buy an alarm clock.

However, Tikhonov himself spoke about this: “Can I say it in one word? Lies! I beg you, write: nothing like this happened. I didn’t promise Gagarin any alarm clock! Yes, we didn’t even know each other. I only saw him from a distance at official events, nothing more.”

The former president of the USSR denied that he visited Vanga and that she allegedly predicted the collapse of the USSR. Gorbachev said that “even before I came to power, they conveyed her forecast that “Mikhail will come to rule”,” but immediately noted that “all this is, by and large, nonsense,” since he is “very critical” of “psychics, clairvoyants and others” and does not trust seers.

The question of the Church’s attitude towards the soothsayer Vanga still worries society. Who was she? From whom did you receive your gift?

There are still people who call Vanga “saint”, “soothsayer”, “clairvoyant”, comparing her with the blessed Matrona of Moscow and not understanding why the church recognized Vanga as a witch. People ask: “Why? Isn't she a churchwoman? I went to church; built a temple - it was her life’s dream,” “What bad did this woman do who helped so many people?” etc. She said: “Go and be baptized!” – as if she had never been alien to the Church. This is where difficulties arise. On the one hand, she clearly declared that she belonged to the Church, and on the other, everything she did was completely contrary to the dogma of the Church. And this is another clear indication that it is becoming increasingly difficult for modern man to distinguish between spirits and adhere to the true teachings of Christ. This is the fruit of an atheistic upbringing and Christian illiteracy.

Vanga and the Church

Sometimes false information appears in the media that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church canonized Vanga as a saint. This statement is not true. Here is the official response to the site “Superstition.net”, received from Bulgaria.

Is Vanga a new “saint” for Russian TV viewers? There is a high interest in Vanga in Russia. In the spring of 2011, a film about her was released on NTV - with a rating comparable to the ratings of football matches. Now on Channel One in prime time, that is, at the most convenient time for viewing, the series “Vangelia,” dedicated to the Bulgarian soothsayer, has been running for the second week. Wherein main character She looks almost like a saint in the film: kind, meek, hardworking, sincerely pious.

In connection with the broadcast of the series “Vangelia” on Channel One, many people began to contact the editors of the Pravoslavie.Ru portal with questions about whether Vanga was an Orthodox Christian. The following materials clearly demonstrate that the Bulgarian soothsayer was in fact a sorceress and psychic, whose source of “inspiration” was demonic forces.

When the bishop arrived a few days later and entered the old woman’s room, he was holding in his hands a reliquary cross with a piece of the Honorable Cross of the Lord. There were a lot of people in the room, Vanga was sitting in the back, saying something and could not hear that another person had quietly entered the door. In any case, she could not know who it was. Suddenly she interrupted and in a changed - low, hoarse - voice said with effort: “Someone came here. Let him throw THIS on the floor immediately!” "What is this"?" - the stunned people around asked Vanga. And then she broke into a frantic cry: “THIS! He holds THIS in his hands! THIS is stopping me from speaking! Because of THIS I can't see anything! I don’t want THIS in my house!” - the old woman screamed, kicking her legs and swaying.

Brief biography of Vanga (1911-1996)

Vangelia Pandeva Gushcherova (1911-1996), better known as Vanga, was born on January 31, 1911 in Strumnitsa (now Macedonia) in the family of a poor peasant. Vanga was only 3 years old when her mother Paraskeva died in 1914, at the birth of her second child. After the end of the First World War, around 1919, her father Pande Surchev married a second time, to Tank Georgieva, who became Vanga's stepmother. From Tanke he had three more children (Vasil, Tome and Lyubka). At the birth of his fourth child in 1928, Tanka, his second wife, also died.

When Vanga was 12 years old, in 1923, an event happened to her that changed her entire future life. When she, along with two cousins, was returning to the village from the field, a hurricane of terrible force lifted her into the air and carried her far into the field. They found it littered with branches and covered with sand. Due to sand getting into her eyes, she undergoes three unsuccessful eye surgeries, as a result of which Vanga completely loses her sight.

At the age of 14, Vanga was sent to the city of Zemun (Serbia) to the House of the Blind, where she spent three years of her life and studied the Broglie alphabet, music, and began to play the piano well. The girl is taught to knit, cook, and sew. At the age of 18, she is proposed to by a blind man named Dimitar, who also lives in the House of the Blind. His parents are rich, and the girl can expect a prosperous future. Vanga agrees, but at this time she receives news from her father about the death of Tanka’s stepmother. The father calls his daughter home, since her help is needed in caring for her young brothers and sister. The wedding with Dimitar is upset, and Vanga returns to her father, actively getting involved in everyday chores.

Knowing how to knit beautifully, Vanga takes home orders and does weaving. But the money earned is not enough for a decent life, and the family lives in poverty.

Vanga's unusual abilities began to manifest themselves in April 1941, when she was 30 years old. She was visited by a "tall, fair-haired, mysterious horseman of divine beauty" who told her that he would be by her side and help her make predictions about the dead and the living. Soon after this, “another voice began to be heard from her lips, which named with amazing accuracy areas and events, the names of mobilized men who would return alive, or with whom some misfortune would happen...”. From that time on, Vanga began to often fall into a trance, receive more and more visitors, find lost people and things and talk to the “dead”.

In 1940, at the age of 54, Vanga’s father died. In May 1942, Vanga married, according to the categorical order of the “forces,” Dimitar Gushterov (despite the fact that he was then engaged to another woman). Family life Vangi was unhappy, she had no children, and 5 years after the wedding, her husband Dimitar became seriously ill (in 1947), began drinking very heavily and died in April 1962 at the age of 42.

In 1982, at the age of 71, Vanga moved to the area of ​​Rupite, surrounded by respect and great recognition from many people. Vanga received visitors almost until her death, at the age of 85 (she died of cancer on August 11, 1996). More than 15,000 people attended her funeral, including senior officials (presidents, ambassadors, diplomats, the entire cabinet of ministers, deputies and journalists). Such is the general outline the life of a world-famous soothsayer.

The emergence of the "gift"

In her youth, when Vanga became blind, according to her, John Chrysostom appeared before her, who said that she would become the first fortune teller (strange, because St. John Chrysostom always spoke of sorcerers as servants of the evil one). And much later, she became the owner of an unusual “gift”. Many people came to her every day. She could tell a person's past. Reveal details that even your loved ones didn’t know. She often made forecasts and predictions. People left very impressed.

Vanga’s visions began with her communication with a certain “horseman”. Here is how the niece describes one of these visions from Vanga’s words: “... He (the horseman) was tall, Russian-haired and divinely handsome. Dressed like an ancient warrior, in armor that glittered in the moonlight. His horse swung its white tail and dug the ground with its hooves. He stopped in front of the gate of Vanga’s house, jumped off his horse and entered a dark room. Such a radiance emanated from him that it became light inside, as if during the day. He turned to Vanga and spoke in a low voice: “Soon the world will turn upside down and many people will die. In this place you will stand and predict the dead and the living. Don't be afraid! I will be next to you and will say what you have to convey to them! Who was this horseman who appeared to Vanga?

The source of Vanga’s “gift”

According to relatives and those who knew Vanga, she spoke of voices that dictated prophecies. The Holy Scriptures and the Holy Fathers speak of two sources of the gift of prediction: from God and from demonic forces. There is no third. Who gave Vanga information about the invisible world? Where did this amazing awareness come from? This answer can be found in the book of Krasimira Stoyanova, Vanga’s niece.

K. Stoyanova reports various details about how Vanga communicated with the other world, with “spirits”:

Question: Do you talk to spirits?

Vanga: Many and very different people come. Some I can't understand. Not the ones who come and are near me now, I understand. One comes, knocks on my door and says: “This door is bad, change it!”

Question: Do you remember anything after you were in a trance?

Vanga: No. I remember almost nothing. After the trance I feel very bad all day.

Question: Godmother, why don’t you remember what is said during a trance?

Vanga: When they want to speak through me, I, like a spirit, leave my body and stand aside, and they come into me and speak, and I hear nothing.

It is enough to look at the forces with which Vanga communicated to understand that they are dark.

As Stoyanova wrote, according to Vanga herself, the creatures who communicate with her have some kind of hierarchy, because there are “bosses” who rarely come, only when it is necessary to report some extraordinary events or major disasters. Then Vanga’s face becomes pale, she faints, and a voice that has nothing in common with her voice begins to be heard from her mouth. It is very strong and has a completely different timbre. The words and sentences that come out of her mouth have nothing in common with the words that Vanga uses in her ordinary speech. It’s as if some alien mind, some alien consciousness is invading her in order to communicate through her lips about events fatal to people. Vanga called these creatures “great power” or “great spirit.”

The description of the creatures with whom Vanga communicates very clearly reveals to us the world of celestial spirits of evil, exactly as it was described in the Holy Scriptures and by the Holy Fathers: the dark forces have a hierarchy; a person cannot control his mental and physical activities; “forces” arbitrarily come into contact with Vanga, completely disregarding her desires.

Other demons who gave Vanga predictions about the past and future of her visitors appeared under the guise of their deceased relatives. Vanga admitted: “When a person stands in front of me, all his deceased loved ones gather around him. They ask me questions themselves and willingly answer mine. What I hear from them is what I pass on to the living.” The appearance of fallen spirits under the guise of dead people has been known since ancient biblical times. The Word of God strongly prohibits such communication: Do not turn to those who call forth the dead (Lev. 19:31).

In addition to the spirits that appeared to Vanga under the guise of “small forces” and “big forces,” as well as deceased relatives, she communicated with another type of inhabitants of the other world. She called them inhabitants of the “planet Vamfim” (no comment).

In K. Stoyanova’s story about Vanga’s contacts with the dead, there is an episode where she communicated with the long-dead clairvoyant theosophist Helena Blavatsky. And when Svyatoslav Roerich visited Vanga, she told him: “Your father was not just an artist, but also an inspired prophet. All his paintings are insights, predictions.” As is known, The Council of Bishops in 2000 excommunicated ardent fighter against Christianity N. Roerich(founder of the occult teaching “Agni Yoga”) and E. Blavatsky(founder of the Theosophical Society) from the Church.

In addition, Vanga spoke very well of Juna Davitashvili, approved of the activities of psychics, communicated with many of them personally, and was actively involved in healing herself. As for the methods of its treatment, not a single magic textbook would disdain to describe them. Here is a brief retelling of one of the many cases in Vanga’s practice and the recommendations she gave. A certain man, having lost his mind, grabbed an ax and rushed at his relatives, but when his brothers tied him up and brought him to Vanga, she advised him to do the following: “Buy a new clay pot, fill it with water from the river, scooping against the flow, and with this water three times water the patient. Then throw the pot back so it breaks, and don’t look back!” We do not see a word about repentance and church life, which could heal the soul of the sick! Healings performed by Orthodox saints have always had the goal, first of all, of spiritual healing; healing the flesh at the cost of defeating the spirit is the lot of occult healers of all stripes.

In her activities, Vanga often used sugar, which allowed her to see a person’s past and future. A person who came to her for advice brought with him two or three pieces of sugar, which before that should have lain under his pillow for several days. Taking these pieces in her hands, Vanga told the person about his past and future. Fortune telling using a magic crystal has been known since ancient times. For Vanga, sugar was a type of crystal accessible to everyone that anyone could bring (sugar has a crystalline structure).

All the above facts and evidence show that Vanga’s “phenomenon” completely fits into the classical framework of experiences of communication with fallen spirits. The inhabitants of the other world revealed to Vanga the present and past of people.

Vanga herself did not realize that she was communicating with the world of fallen spirits. Nor did her many visitors understand this. A strict spiritual life and many years of ascetic experience save one from being seduced by fallen spirits. This attitude teaches spiritual sobriety and protects from harmful charm. St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov), discussing fallen spirits, says that because of their sinfulness, people are closer to them than to the Angels of God. And therefore, when a person is not spiritually prepared, demons appear to him instead of angels, which, in turn, leads to grave spiritual seduction. Vanga had neither experience of Christian spiritual life, nor knowledge that could help her in a critical assessment of the incomprehensible phenomena that suddenly powerfully invaded her life. The house in which Vanga lived, in her opinion, was built on the site of an ancient pagan temple. There is evidence that many people, coming to this place, felt oppressed.

Yes, Vanga was engaged in divination and some of her predictions came true, but from the point of view of biblical teaching, this fact in itself does not prove the spiritual purity of the source of predictions, for example, in the Bible we read about a maid possessed “... by the spirit of divination, who through divination delivered great income for their masters” (Acts 16:16). Let us emphasize that the spirit of divination left the woman after the command of the apostle. Paul, speaking in the name of Jesus Christ: “Paul, being indignant, turned and said to the spirit: in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her. And [the spirit] went out that same hour” (Acts 16:18). Considering Vanga’s sympathies for the occult and extrasensory perception, we can conclude that the basis of her spiritual phenomenon were the same forces that feed the occult and magic, and therefore, if Vanga had been in the place of that New Testament servant, she would have suffered the same fate.

One day, by chance, finding myself close to a cross that had a piece of the Honest and Life-giving Cross Lord, Vanga demanded that he be removed from her, since she cannot prophesy. It is known that if you started reading next to Vanga orthodox prayers, she was also losing her gift.

Vanga Church

Vanga built a church in Rupite in the name of St. Paraskeva of Bulgaria. But here, too, not everything is so simple. The built temple violates all church canons. The architecture and painting belong to the famous artist Svetlin Rusev, who is a big fan of Nicholas Roerich, which was very evident during the construction of the church. The altar and wall paintings were so inconsistent with ideas about Orthodox faith that some even called for the destruction of the building. The temple was nicknamed "Masonic".

Vanga herself called the construction of the church a “sacrifice.” The foundation stone of the church was laid on August 20, 1992 by the then Nevroko Metropolitan Pimen, but it should be noted that that year a schism occurred in the Bulgarian Church, and Metropolitan Pimen was one of the organizers of this schism. The construction of the church was carried out by the Vanga Foundation. In 1994, the altar of the temple was consecrated by the canonical Metropolitan Nathanael of Nevrokop, but despite this, schismatics and members of the “Vanga Foundation” immediately began to dispose of it. Currently, this temple has been turned into a tourist center. It is interesting that opposite the image of the Savior hangs a portrait of Vanga herself, made using the “pseudo-icon” technique, which also caused sharp rejection by the clergy, who call such faces semi-occult.

About the “holiness” of Vanga

Today, the countrymen of the great clairvoyant demand that the Church canonize Vanga as a saint. People come to her grave in Rupite, as if to a saint, with prayers and requests. Their argument for the “holiness” of Vanga is the words of Stoyanova: “Vanga was chosen by Heaven. Auntie was a believer, a modest woman. She observed the canons, prayed, and attended church with joy. And she always called for faith in God! As for the priests, they did not officially recognize her, but even metropolitans came to talk to her about business. And she told the truth, even the hard-hitting one.” Vanga herself in her statements spoke about good attitude to the Church and sometimes even baptized children. But Vanga didn’t convert anyone to Orthodoxy!

It must be emphasized that true Orthodox holiness is fundamentally different from the phenomena that we see in Vanga. Christian holiness manifests itself with full and clear consciousness of spiritual experiences; there is no violence against the will of man. The grace of God transforms a person not after natural disasters and hurricanes or after the appearance of horsemen, but after conscious Christian asceticism and observance of God's commandments. It usually takes many years of purification before the spiritual fruits begin to be visibly manifested. What is needed is moral effort and, as Seraphim of Sarov says, the acquisition of the Holy Spirit.

Vanga is far from these conditions, just as she has many misconceptions about Christian faith. It is noteworthy that Vanga falls into a trance and does not remember anything after it. She has an alien voice in which she speaks, and this shows that another creature is possessing her, which she herself admitted. At the moment of such penetration, she (“the saint”) began to growl. This is not holiness, but obsession, the opposite of holiness. A person in such a state does not communicate with the Holy Spirit, with the Lord, but with dark forces.

As for performing miracles, miracles may not necessarily be manifestations of holiness. As we know from the lives of saints, not all saints performed miracles. Conversely, there are many cases of miracles in the absence of holiness (sorcerers, fortune tellers, modern psychics with frankly abnormal lives, some fans eastern religions etc.), which is clear evidence that these supernatural “miracles” are the work of fallen spirits.

Many people who are far from the Church and have naive ideas about dark forces (and their human servants) are deceived by the fact that Vanga often talks about God, light, faith, Christ, love, wisdom. Vanga uses the word “Christianity” only as a screen. Under the guise of Christianity, they preach unchristian ideas and practice unchristian actions.

What do Vanga and Blessed Matrona of Moscow have in common? Blindness? So Homer was blind. Vanga openly practiced witchcraft, talked about a special gift that appeared to her after a strong hurricane, and took money for the reception (not personally, but through the foundation). It was a well-organized and well-established business, from which a lot of people profited - everyone around the Bulgarian sorceress. Blessed Matrona lay paralyzed, humbly carried her cross and prayed to God for the people who asked her about it.

No easy way to God and never was. That is why the Lord speaks about the narrow path. He does not promise everyone who wants to enter the Kingdom of God that they will enter it. He says that the Kingdom of God is taken by force. Modern man does not want to make any effort and does not force himself to do anything. He wants everything to go as planned magic wand. He wants to drive his car to the Kingdom of Heaven, where God himself will meet him, pat him on the shoulder and tell him that everything is fine, you are wonderful, nothing is required of you. But that's not true.

In contact with

Vangeliya Pandev Surchev or Dimitrova is the most a famous person worldwide. Because her predictions have always aroused interest, but no one has yet been able to decipher them in full.

By the way, Vanga is a controversial person, since some skeptics could never come to terms with the fact that the Bulgarian woman had the talent of healing and seer. Some people even called Vangelia Gushterova a charlatan or even crazy, but few people are indifferent to this symbol of the century.

The blind woman lived in poverty until the end of her life in the town of Petrich, located at the crossroads of the borders of Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece. She accepted the suffering, both poor and rich, never demanding financial reward for her predictions.

Height, weight, age. Years of life of the Fortune Teller Vanga

Fans of the clairvoyant’s talent have been trying for many years to determine her physical parameters, including finding out her height, weight, and age. The years of life of the Fortune Teller Vanga can be checked on the Internet, since she was born in 1911 and died in 1996.

You can understand by the years of her life that the woman lived only eighty-five full years, by the way, Vanga: the photos in her youth and now are almost identical, but in later ones the blind woman acquired an increasing number of wrinkles.

At the same time, Vangelia (Vanga) during her lifetime had a height that did not exceed one meter and sixty-four centimeters, and the woman weighed no less than sixty kilograms.

Biography and personal life of Fortune Teller Vanga

The biography and personal life of the Fortune Teller Vanga have always been incredibly interesting for every person. The baby was born in the town of Strumnica, which was located on the territory of the then Ottoman Empire.

Father - Pande Surchev - was in Turkish captivity as an activist of the VMORO, but after the revolution he was released, then he went to the front, died in 1940 alone and in terrible poverty.

Mother - Paraskeva Surcheva - worked on a collective farm, but died suddenly in 1940.

Brother - Vasil Surchev was a half-blood, he fought, ended up in Yugoslavia and became an ordinary worker and lived in Strumnica. Vanga also had a half-brother, Tom Surchev, and a sister, Lyubka Surcheva, whom the girl raised on her own. During the years of the German occupation, Tom and Lyubka went to partisan detachment, where the guy voluntarily surrendered to the Nazis in exchange for hostages in 1944 and was killed after torture.

Lyubka lived with Vanga herself until the end, helping her with housework and looking after the children. She invited visitors and assisted her.

Vanga played a strange game from an early age: she would blindfold herself and pretend to be blind. The tragedy happened at the age of twelve, when the girl was walking home with her cousins ​​in Macedonia. She was picked up by a tornado and dragged a hundred meters away, blocking her eyes.

Vanga became blind because her eyes were irrevocably covered with sand, and there was no money to treat her. At the same time, the girl studied at the Serbian House of the Blind. But I couldn’t finish my studies because I had to help my family.

After World War II began, the girl discovered an unexpected gift of foresight. By looking at pieces of sugar placed under the pillow at night, she could tell whether a person was missing or dead.

Vangelia claimed that a strange ancient warrior presented her with a gift, at the same time healing her from pleurisy. Therefore, famous, rich and influential people came to her. Over the entire period they brought approximately two tons of sugar cubes.

She knew how to predict a person's future, but could not change it. She also treated me for many diseases or referred me to a specific doctor. Vanga communicated with the souls of the dead or with an inhuman voice.

Currently, a huge number of documentary projects have been filmed about Wang and numerous books have been written. They rarely describe the seer's personal life, but it is strange that with such a busy life she had it at all.

The woman often said that she was truly in love only in the House of the Blind, when she heard a new young man and realized that he was her real destiny. Dimitar came to this school from Gioto, he was blind, but this did not prevent the young people from falling in love, but purely and innocently.

Vanga's parents were poor, and Dimitar was brought up in rich family. His parents approved of the news that their son had found his beloved and decided to get married, but chance decided everything. The girl was taken by her father to raise two brothers and a sister, she submitted and gave up love.

Family and children of Fortune Teller Vanga

The family and children of the Fortune Teller Vanga were quite unusual, and many facts from her life were completely reminiscent of a fairy tale. The fact is that Vangelia’s family was very poor, her parents were constantly sick or worked, but could not earn an extra penny. The girl received the name Vanga, contrary to Bulgarian traditions, because when asked about the name of the newborn, the first person she met said that the baby should be called Andromache.

The grandmother was against such an elaborate name, she went out into the street a second time, and the newborn received the beautiful name Vangelia. Mom died early, and her father was mobilized to the front, so the baby wandered among compassionate neighbors.

Later, the father was demobilized and married a woman from Macedonia, who gave birth to three more children and died suddenly in the fourth birth. That is why the blind beauty was entrusted with the duties of a mother, which she fulfilled with honor. At the same time, the father never stayed at home, because he either fought or was in prison, but was unable to lift his family and children out of poverty.

Vangelia remained blind because her father was simply unable or unwilling to find money to treat his damaged eyes.

The girl often said that children were her greatest pain, since Vanga did not have any children of her own. She became the mother of two beautiful children, whom she managed to raise to their feet.

The seer often said that she was barren because of her rare gift. But sometimes she claimed that the absence of her own children was influenced by the Second World War, which brought hunger, disease and hypothermia. Moreover, throughout her life, Vanga became godmother to no less than fifteen thousand children, since she never refused this.

Son of the Fortune Teller Vanga - Dimitar Vylchev

The son of the Fortune Teller Vanga, Dimitar Vylchev, is adopted, since the woman did not have her own children, he appeared after the death of her husband. The boy was mortally ill, but Vanga baptized him and cured him, giving him a name in honor of her husband.

Mitko was incredibly talented in everything, he was an excellent student and was interested in how to protect those who suffer from criminal attacks. That is why, after graduating from school, the boy entered college and received a higher legal education.

Dimitar Valchev is far from the last person in Bulgaria, since he became a prosecutor. In addition, the guy headed the foundation, which is named after his mother, he is happily married to the girl who Vanga herself predicted.

Daughter of the Fortune Teller Vanga - Violetta Gushterova

The daughter of the Foreteller Vanga, Violetta Gushterova, appeared in the life of the seer not from birth, but from the day she turned six years old. The baby’s name, by the way, has not yet been established, since the adopted girl was called not only Violetta, but also Venche or Veneta.

The girl said that Vanga loved her dearly, she never fought over trifles, was hospitable, taught her to be honest, kind and fair. Violetta still remembers how Vanga hugged her and her brother, sang lullabies and taught her to read.

The girl received an excellent education, she graduated from the university as a linguist and is a sought-after translator in the country. She got married, gave birth to a child, and now raises him exactly as his adoptive mother did.

Violetta says that she is slightly offended that her mother bequeathed all her property, house and money in her bank account to the state, clearly depriving her relatives. She sued the state for about five years, but could not prove anything.

Fortune Teller Vanga's husband - Dimitar Gushterov

The fortuneteller Vanga’s husband, Dimitar Gushterov, is the girl’s first and only husband. He was never loved by his wife, but tried to support her and be close to her. The guy appeared when his chosen one was thirty-one years old; he was eight years younger than Vanga, but the woman looked young.

Mitko wanted to know who killed him sibling to punish the offender, but Vanga personally came out to meet him and dissuaded him from taking revenge. After this, the young people began to meet and talked for a long time about everything in the world.

Soon after the meeting, the girl and the guy got married, but Dimitar’s parents did not support this marriage, since they were rich, and Vangelia not only had no money, but was also blind.

The girl and her sister moved to a tiny house, where they began to take care of the house, but fame came here too, although Dimitar was against his wife continuing to receive people. However, this is how Vanga fed her family, since scarce sugar saved children from hunger.

The Nazis offered Vanga to work for them, but she resolutely refused, so they sent Gushterov to Greece, where he contracted the insidious hepatitis C.

Dimitar died from the consequences of alcohol abuse, because his stomach was terribly sick, torn by overwork. Vanga tried to persuade her husband not to drink alcohol, but he did not listen, and the clairvoyant understood that her husband was doomed.

Dimitar died from cirrhosis of the liver in tandem with dropsy forty years after the wedding celebration.

Vanga's predictions for Russia verbatim

Vanga’s predictions for Russia verbatim are precisely the material that has been collected for many years, deciphered and tried to find inconsistencies with reality. So Vanga’s prophecies were given for different countries of the world, but in different years, so she predicted the beginning of the Second World War, the death of the Kursk submarine and the Chernobyl accident.

Russia received a prediction according to which perestroika, a change of power and its transition to Gorbachev and Yeltsin were predicted. However, not all predictions can be believed, since a cure for oncology, the beginning of the Third World War, nuclear weapon, which will lead to radioactive rain.

They say that everything is to blame for the incorrect and even free interpretation of predictions, including those concerning Russia. Indirectly, we can say that our country will feel pretty good in 2018.

At the same time, Vanga’s prediction for 2018 literally says that China will rise to the top of the world. And since the Russian Federation and the Celestial Empire are cooperating, it can be argued that Russia has nothing to fear.

The Interpretation of Vanga's Dreams or Vanga's Dream Book in the House of the Sun is an extremely popular book. Since the clairvoyant often said that dreams can tell about fate not only specific person, but also the whole country or even peace.

Wikipedia Fortune Teller Vanga

Wikipedia of the Fortune Teller Vanga has existed for a long time and is officially confirmed, and you can find a page in Russian and Bulgarian. You can find an article dedicated to Father Vangelia, but in Bulgarian and not too extensive.

From the main article it is possible to clarify data about an unhappy childhood, parents, causes of blindness, activities and personal views. A lot of relevant and reliable information can be found about how Vanga became a clairvoyant and the methods of her work.

It is interesting to know that the woman’s death was due to advanced cancer; she was buried in Bulgaria. Despite the fact that there is a lot of information about predictions, including unfulfilled ones, it is quite unfortunate that there is no information about Vanga’s wife and children.

Vanga (Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova) (January 31, 1911 - August 11, 1996) - Bulgarian "clairvoyant". She was born in Macedonia in the family of a poor peasant. According to reviews of some prominent scientists of the first half of the 20th century, she had the gift of telepathy and foresight.

Almost all sources on the Internet indicate the wrong date of birth. Vanga was born on October 3, 1911, and not on January 31, as many sources claim

Vanga was born on October 3, 1911 in Strumica, Yugoslavia, in the family of a small landowner. She was born two months before her due date, with undivided fingers and toes. She was born so weak that her parents did not give her a name for two months and thought: the girl is not a good girl. However, the girl not only survived, went through many trials, but also became one of the most famous personalities XX century.

Vanga was only three years old when her mother died during her second birth. Vanga's father, Pande Suochev, was very worried about his daughter's future. And she grew up as a lively, sociable girl. Her favorite pastime was playing hospital, in which she invariably imagined herself as a doctor. Soon after the end of the First World War, my father married again, and for some time the family lived quite prosperously. But this prosperity turned out to be short-lived: the plot of land that Pande owned was taken away by the new authorities, and he became a shepherd. The family fell into poverty, in which they had to live for many years.

One day, when Vanga was 12 years old, she, along with other children, was walking near the village. It was a bad day, and the children noticed a strange cloud in the sky. “Thunderstorm,” the guys thought. But there was no thunderstorm. Sinister cold wind fiercely tore young leaves from the trees, drove clouds of dust along the road, swirled like funnels of a tornado, came closer and closer - and suddenly picked up Vanga. There, in the roaring mouth of the tornado, she felt as if someone’s palm was touching her head and... she lost consciousness. I woke up already on the ground. My head hurt and my eyes were filled with dust.

Vanga was found littered with stones and branches in a field. When they brought her home, everyone tried to ease the girl’s suffering, but nothing helped. By evening, her eyes became bloodshot, and then the iris turned white.

Wang was taken to a doctor, who said that urgent surgery was necessary. The girl underwent two operations, but they did not help - Vanga went blind. She fell into despair, prayed for a miracle, but the miracle did not happen.

In 1925, Vanga was sent to a home for the blind, which was located in the city of Zemun. Here she learned a lot: Braille, playing the piano, as well as knitting, cooking, and cleaning the house. All this later became very useful to her in life.

Vanga spent three years in the house of the blind. Here she knew her first love. Her lover, also a blind pupil at home, Dimitar, asked her to marry him. Vanga was happy. But life had its own way.

Vanga's stepmother died during the birth of her fourth child. Vanga was forced to return home to help her father with housework and raising children. So she said goodbye to her first love.

At home, Vanga was met with terrible poverty. Her brother Vasil was 6 years old at that time, Tom was 4 years old, and the youngest, Lyubka, was 2. Blind Vanga became their mother, protector, and mistress of the house.

The girl knitted quickly and beautifully. The surrounding villages soon learned about this and began to bring her skeins of yarn. For the work they gave small things or old clothes, which she bandaged for the children.

Vanga began to weave. She did not like to sit without work and did not allow anyone to idle. Their house, despite great poverty, was always clean and tidy.

There is an interesting custom in those parts. On the evening before St. George's Day, girls throw various objects into a jug in order to find out their fate the next day. The jug was usually placed in Vanga’s yard, and the girls often, perhaps out of pity, appointed Vanga as “oracle.”

Vanga, taking the items out of the jug the next morning, predicted the fate of her friends. All her predictions usually came true. This was surprising - after all, at that time no one suspected that Vanga had the gift of a soothsayer.

One day, a sheep disappeared from the herd that Vanga’s father was tending. He was very sad about this, because he was afraid that he would be driven away, and Vanga told him: “Don’t be angry, your sheep is with Atanas from the village of Monospitovo.” The father was amazed because he did not know such a person, and Vanga especially could not know him. He asked his daughter how she could know where the sheep was, to which she replied that she saw it in a dream. She always said that she saw something in her dreams, and all her dreams came true. The father went to the village indicated by Vanga and actually found a sheep there from the man she was talking about.

One day winter night A rider on a white horse galloped into the village. He entered the house, illuminating it with divine radiance, and said: “The world will soon turn upside down, many people will die, will be lost. You will stand in this place and broadcast about the dead and the living. Don’t be afraid! I will tell you what to broadcast.” Such a vision visited 30-year-old Vanga in January 1941.
So Vanga became a soothsayer. She had clairvoyant abilities before. Maybe she even developed them in herself. Even before she became blind, the girl irritated her father very much with her strange games - she hid various things in the garden or in the house. And then, closing her eyes tightly, she looked for them.

When the news about Baba Vanga’s unique abilities crossed the borders of Bulgaria, people from different countries came to her for help and advice. She prescribed treatment to some and explained the cause of the illness, warned others against taking wrong steps, and helped others find missing people.
Blind, she saw a lot - both in the past and in the future. The house of the prophetess in Rupite - a place at the junction of the Bulgarian, Macedonian and Greek borders - is now considered by many to be a source of incredible “cosmic” energy. It was he who fueled the phenomenon, which during his lifetime was called Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova.

But her talent developed in full force during the war years. Desperate, distraught people had no one to turn to. So they went to a woman who could calm, encourage, and help with advice. Or at least tell me where I laid my head close person. She advised people how to protect themselves on the battlefields, how to get rid of ailments with the help of herbs, clay, and beeswax, and where to find lost goods.
Long before worldwide fame, there was... prison in her life. The seer was put in a cell for predicting the death of Stalin. Six months later she was released - the prediction came true. But they could solder “ten years without the right of correspondence”... True, she trusted the dates of the deaths of leaders and global catastrophes to a very limited circle of people. I didn't want to scare.
When her brother Vasil left for the partisan detachment, Vanga cried, begged him to beware, and prophesied his grave death at the age of 23. But Vasil did not believe the prediction. That same year, in October, he was captured. He was brutally tortured and then shot. How tragic it is to foresee the death of a loved one and understand its inevitability!
Vanga could not save her own husband. They lived for twenty years strong family, but in recent years Mitko started drinking and became an alcoholic. When he was dying, Vanga knelt by the bed, not wiping the tears flowing from her blind eyes. And, taking Mitko’s last breath, she fell asleep. And when she woke up, she said: “I accompanied him to the place that was prepared for him.”
Vanga was not afraid of death. She had her own idea about it: “...After death, the body decomposes, like all living things, but part of the soul, I don’t even know what to call it, does not decompose. And continues to develop to reach a higher level. This is immortality souls."
When the dying Vanga was brought to the intensive care unit of a government hospital, she refused medical care and left “everything to the will of God.” She spent the last days in a coma. In the worthless luxury of a separate room for especially important sufferers. With beads of tears rolling out of long-unseeing eyes. Relatives say that death was for her a deliverance from the burden of years and the torment of her sick flesh. She is also very tired of people. From their real troubles and far-fetched tragedies, from lack of faith, ambitions, endless questions and misunderstanding of the truths that are obvious to her.
She believed that man was born to do good deeds. Every bad deed does not go unpunished. And if the punishment does not overtake the one who commits evil, it will pass on to the descendants. Vanga herself tried to bring only goodness.
